## What is Kotobot?

Kotobot helps you learn vocabulary in Japanese and Chinese and actually remember it.

Most apps teach you words you forget a week later. Kotobot teaches every word in context, real sentences, native audio, and images, then brings it back for review right before you'd forget it. No deck-building, no busywork. Just open the app and review what's due.

EVERY WORD COMES WITH CONTEXT • Real example sentences, not word = translation pairs • Native-speaker audio for every sentence • Illustrations that anchor the meaning • Tap any word in a sentence for an instant grammar breakdown

REVIEWS THAT ACTUALLY STICK • A spaced repetition algorithm schedules each review at the perfect time • Multiple card types — listening, reading, and recall — train different skills with the same word • Fresh sentences keep words from going stale, so you learn the word, not the card

NO SETUP, NO GUESSWORK • Curated vocabulary paths take you from beginner onward, no wondering what to study next • Cards are ready-made with audio, images, and examples, so there's nothing to build • Pick up right where you left off, even after a break

WHO IT'S FOR If you've done the streaks and the lessons but still can't read a menu, or you know Anki works but making good cards feels like a second job, Kotobot is the middle path: the retention of spaced repetition with none of the setup, and context-rich cards that feel closer to real immersion.

Download Kotobot and start learning vocabulary that sticks.
